I read Self magazine and Shape not for the information about losing weight, but because I love the success stories contained in them. “Meet Jane, she weighed 435 pounds, started walking every day, and now 14.5 months later she only weight 100 pounds.” So when I picked up the book, Perfect Weight, I was immediately sucked in by the author’s story. He lost a lot of weight too, but not because he wanted to, because he was sick.

Don't expect too much from a free book from Vitamin Shoppe. Filled with massive amounts of advice that would take eons just to double-check that you were following even a fraction of it. Unfortunately, the advice is unscientific. Worse off, much of it is contradictory to science. Overt religious tones as well. Such as for reasons not to eat pig and most seafood. Shellfish #2 of his “dirty dozen.” White sugar just at #7. Wow, that much worse than white sugar, eh?
To me, this book is basically a repackaged version of Andrew Weil's books. Rubin does offer ideas on how to take care of environmental toxins in your home, but is unrealistic as to the economic and geographical situations of the average American. In addition, Rubin is not a doctor nor has he any alternative medicine certifications (though he did have a doctor read and ok his book).
For example, Rubin eschews organic dariy products, saying that only unpasteurized milk is good for his ...more

For the most, this is a re-hashing of what Rubin's already written in he's previous books, with the unfortunate edition of the suggestions for "green" leaving... what poppycock.
The only improvement in this book from his others is a modified eating plan (Ch. 7). It's a relaxed and expanded form, using Rubin's established principles

This was yet another preachy 'I'm so great so therefore you can lose weight' kind of book. The arrogance of the author is a but much at times. I kept thinking "Thank goodness I didn't marry that guy. Whew. Dodged a big bullet there."
I actually found the beginning of the book were quite interesting. The first few chapters are actually what kept me going through the rest of the book. The physiological aspects of eating were fascinating. Unfortunately, the author lost ...more

Did you know that you can LOSE WEIGHT if you eat healthy, avoid carbs, and exercise!? Jordan Rubin, you are a genius for sharing this new information with the world.

I have not achieved the perfect weight, but I have benefited from the cleansing aspect of this diet and the overall healthy eating recommendations.
Not bad, but not much new info, when you've already read The Maker's Diet.
didn't connect with his presentation.
Ummm, yeah not quite my cup of tea. There were definitely some good aspects to it that he nailed down and some interesting aspects on dieting and eating good foods, but I felt he was demanding unrealistic expectations from "America" in what most Americans have been through and are tempted by daily. Though, there were good aspects and I am more informed on certain things, but I have definitely read better, more worthwhile books about creating a good, healthy lifestyle of fitness and eat...more
Hey, I'm not dieting (and I don't EVER want to!) and I don't usually read self-help books. I got this one free when I shopped at Good Earth a month or two ago. With all the nutrition and "fringe" kind of ideas I've picked up over the last few years, I think this book sums up what I think is a healthy lifestyle better and other reading I've done. I'm not quite "there" yet, but I actually did like reading this book.
Sounds do-able ... if only I can work up the self-discipline with which to carry this out. ^_^
This book was informative to when it came to GMO's and how to recognize and avoid them, but overall it was like every other diet book out there-- products to sell that would directly benefit the author. Love to read about sound nutrition and healthy lifestyles, not so much interested in lining the pockets of others though.
I was given this book at work and decided today...being over weight and uncomfortable...I would start reading it.
Please be praying for me, this is a radical change for me...eating good food that is right for me!
Hopefully, you will SEE the results.

A must read! Very informational and motivating. He's all about natural, organic, and going green. Some parts are a little extreme, but you get a lot of great information. The author also wrote "The Maker's Diet."
Disappointing. Too commercial. I believe in his diet and love his book, the Maker's Diet and recommend that one instead. See my review for the Maker's Diet.
I only got halfway through this and needed to give it back to the owner, but overall I liked it.
great help with managing a sound nutritional health plan
Still reading this book, so will add comments later.
Good for anyone looking to be healthy
His products are amazing and its here in the Philippines thru QPLUS..
